Here's my first chunk. Its the last chunk with commentary that can be understood, due to my annoying computer problems. I included a few minutes of the pre-game hilarity as well.

You and I were next to each other the whole time, no wonder we ran into each other like we did (and then I ran away as fast as I could). That place you begin mining around the 14:40 mark, I mined through it to the top when I seen your name and tried to come up inside your tunnels but couldn't find them.

ya I think there were a few different times we spotted each other....I wasn't really sure who you were or what to do. At one point I think I saw you killing a bunch of cows down in a valley, and I was going to try and come after you but I lost sight of you and then was worried you were trying to flank me. It's pretty crazy how intense things get for such a simple game.

That was a lot of fun, I'll be more aggressive next time now that I'm familiar (sort of) with the game.

I was mining mostly trying to find some good minerals so I could make some armour and stuff, and then ended up getting whooped by a zombie. Didn't help that I lit myself on fire with the lava in my cave.

Windows Movie Maker was pissing me off so I'm trying VirtualDub for episode 2, hopefully it works out. What's everyone use for editing/compressing?

I used Windows Movie Maker and it seemed to go fairly smoothly. What about it is pissing you off?

Fraps gave me 15 separate clips for my 2:20 worth of video, so trying to get the 30 minute intervals in separate videos is a huge pain. VirtualDub seems to do this nicely, I can select a range and create the episode from that, and then move down to the next half hour and do the same, all without having to remove anything from the project.

Edit: I lied about file sizes, turns out the projected size VDub was giving me for ep2 was bang on but ep3 was way out to lunch, in the end they were close in size.

Why did Fraps do that? Is it a setting? Other than a few small videos I made years ago in school, I really don't know anything about any of this software besides what's been discussed in this thread.

I recorded 1 video and then used movie maker to pull out the first episode. The whole video is about 95 gigs, and my first episode uploaded to youtube was about 2 gigs. Should I be doing something different?

Just reading up on it and apparently Fraps does this because 4gb is the file size limit for Fat32 file systems, this doesn't apply to me but I don't see an option in Fraps to change this. Doesn't really matter, VirtualDub handles it exactly the way I want it to be done.

I'm recording in fairly low quality, 30fps at half size, so for 2:20 I ended up with 55 gb of video. I'm compressing that with VirtualDub, using the xvid codec, and a resolution of 854x480 and my 30 minute episodes are coming out to about 700mb on average.

I'll be ready to go with more episodes whenever, I'll wait until a couple more episode 1's go up.

Hanni, this is the option we used for happy-go-lucky's video. (highlighted the 4GB option)



I didn't like the end result, because it divides the videos into roughly 15 minute segments at the settings in the picture. I'm not going to bother making a 30 minute combined video yet...she says she wants to edit the videos first because they are very boring. Uploading the first one now.

You might want to grab a "backup" of the newest version then!

That's what I did...just to test it out before I buy it.

That could be as good a head start as finding the skele spawner was in season one, who knows what's in those chests.

I was right behind her early on in that video when she was in the desert. It was too early for PvP, though, so I had to hide out for a bit. When I returned the next day she was gone.
